On-the-fly, in-memory java code compilation for Java 5 and Java 6

JCI looks fine. This code snippet should be your base:

JavaCompiler compiler = new JavaCompilerFactory().createCompiler("eclipse");

MemoryResourceReader mrr = new MemoryResourceReader();
mrr.add("resource name string", yourJavaSourceString.getBytes());

MemoryResourceStore mrs = new MemoryResourceStore();

CompilationResult result = compiler.compile(sources, mrr, mrs);

// don't need the result, unless you care for errors/warnings
// the class should have been compiled to your destination dir

Any reason this should not work?

Edit: added a MemoryResourceStore to send the compiled class output to memory, like requested.

Also, setting javac settings, like classpath in your case, can be done via setCustomArguments(String[] pCustomArguments) in JavacJavaCompilerSettings class.
